Interface Specifications(1) Introduction
AV-HS6000 has serial interface port and GVG200 compatible protocol.
Note- Supported protocol is subset of GVG200 “Serial Interface Protocol” and somecommands are extended for AV-HS6000.

Message Byte
Maximum size 255 bytes

Byte Count Byte : The number of the sequent bytes in the block.
Effects Address Byte : In case of ME1,ME2 Effects Address Byte is set to 01h or02h.In case of DSK, is set to 00h.Other than this, Effects Address Byte is set toHS6000 original value.
Command Code Byte : Command codes fall into two broad categories; readcommands and write commands.
When the editor issues a read command, the switcher responds by sending thecurrent status of an operational parameter(s) back to the external device. The
status information is returned in the format of the write command. Writecommands are used by the external device to change an operational parameter(s)of the switcher.
Response to a write command
The response to a write command is a two-byte status message. The first byte isthe byte count which is 0x01. The second byte is the switcher response to thecommand which is shown below. The bits that are set to one (1) indicate thestatus.

1 = Buffer Warning
1 = Protocol Error
1 = Command Accepted

The write command response will be two bytes. The first byte is the byte count which is 0x01. The
second byte is the status.
bit7: Set to 1 when the command is properly received.
bit6: Set to 1 when the received message is abnormal.
bit5: Set to 1 when the serial interface buffer is about to overflow.
Any combination is possible, except both bit7 and bit6 being set to 1 at the same time.

0x0180: ACK response
0x0140: NAK response

The read command response uses the write command format.

Break command
The HS6000 can receive each command without using the break command.
